As I was about to reach for the handle, a wave of nausea hit me when I heard moaning coming from inside the bedroom.
"Ah, James!" No. This can't be.
"Yes! Yes, don't stop!" I recognized that voice.
"Keep it down, Sofia or Avery will hear us."
"Oh, fuck yes!" I was gonna be sick. This couldn't be happening. James wouldn't do this to me. He would never cheat on me. He wouldn't. I put my hand on the door knob and turned it, opening the door.
And there they were, on our bed, were we slept, James was fucking Sofia. I felt my tears rolling down and my voice ceasing to exist.
"Fuck, Avery!" James jumped off the bed and grabbed a pillow to cover his package. Sofia on the other hand only rolled over so that she was lying on her stomach. She placed her hands under her chin.
"Hello, Avery, see what I mean now?" She dragged her finger down her chest and looked at James as she sucked her lip.
I turned my heel and ran out of the room and up the stairs, until I reached the top floor.
"Avery, wait!" I heard James' voice behind me but it was fading the higher up I got.
He wasn't following me. He was staying down there with her. James, the man that my head kept screaming was my mate, slept with the girl that hated my guts. The girl that has had a crush on him for years. He cheated on me, yet again a man cheated on me. I was right, I wasn not made to be Luna or James wife.
Am I that hard to love? Am I that hard to be faithful to?
What is it that I lack but others girls have?
Why was I never enough?
I ran down the hallway until I reached an old wooden door that didn't seem to be used much. On the other side was what looked like an old class room with spiderwebs, old desks and dust everywhere.
He cheated on me.
He fucking cheated on me!
My hand slammed through the board standing next to me and left a hole in the middle.
I grabbed a desk, flipped it over and started hitting everything in sight.
"HE CHEATED ON ME!" I wanted to kill him. I was going to kill him. He slept with another girl and in the bed where we slept together!
My fists were bloody and my shorts and shirt were dusty and grey.
The dagger, in his office, no, it had to be silver to hurt as much as posible. I looked around and found a small box on the floor, covered in dust.
In it lay an envelope knife, silver.
I grabbed the knife in my hand and gripped it tightly. I was filled with rage, pure, blind rage. Nothing else mattered at this point.
I opened the door and walked back out into the hallway. I made my way down the stairs and back to our bedroom, slamming the door open but only to find it empty and the bed looked as if it hadn't been touched. Where the fuck is he? I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen which was also empty and then I heard it, laughter, coming from the communal area.
I walked over there faster than I had ever walked before, my hold on the knife so tight that my knuckles were turning white. I saw Damon exiting and my eyes quickly scanned the room, and there he was. Standing by the pool table with Alex like he hadn't just fucked another girl.
"YOU SLEPT WITH HER!"
~James POV~
Slept with who? Avery was breathing like a dragon and her face was flaming red. Her knuckles were bleeding. What the fuck was happening? What was she talking about? I looked over at Alex but he just seemed as confused as I was. I put the stick down on the table and walked over to Avery.
" Baby wh-"
"NO! Don't you dare pretend like nothing happened. I saw it! I saw you fucking her in our bed!"
"What?" Amber stood up from her seat and looked at Avery.
"Babe, he has been here with us the entire time." Amber tried reasoning with her but something wasn't right.
"Avery I was there when you walked away from Alex outside earlier. You walked past me, remember?" I asked her, mostly for myself.
"You're lying!" She hadn't seen me, she wasn't ignoring me, she hadn't seen me fucking standing there. Shit. Why didn't I just call Natasha like Alex suggested?
"You cheated on me with that whore!"
Avery charged at me with the knife in her hand, aimed at my chest.
' Everyone stand back'
I sent out a mind link. I didn't want Avery to get hurt. I didn't know what the fuck was going on but I did know that it wasn't her fault. They all stepped back and just as Avery reached me I grabbed her hand and spun her around so that her back was against my chest, while straddling her arms.
"Avery, baby, listen to me. This isn't you. Someone is doing this to you, fight it!" Holy shit, the strength wasn't Avery either, she wasn't this strong.
"It's all me! You cheated on me! I saw you two!" She was almost out of my grip. I turned her around, holding her arms down and looked into her eyes. She was trying her best to get out of my grip and she was almost succeeding.
"Avery, please listen! I haven't slept with anyone, I would never do that to you!" Please, baby, please hear me.
"You're lying." An immense strength shot through me as she broke my hold on her and she raised her hand, ready to stab the dagger into my heart.
"Avery, please, please hear me. I would never hurt you." Something changed in her eyes. I had come to know it as humanity, but only for a split second before it was gone again.
"AVERY!" Everything went into slow motion after that. I just stood there, ready to take whatever it was that she thought I deserved.
The tip of the dagger penetrated my flesh and I felt the burn of the silver spreading quickly. It wasn't a pain I couldn't handle. The worst pain came from the person inflicting it, not because she wanted to kill me, but because I knew she was in there watching everything, unable to do anything to stop it. Her eyes were filled with rage and determination. The knife kept digging into my flesh and there was no remorse showing on Avery's face.
Before it could go any further, Avery inhaled deeply and her eyes slowly rolled back into her head, her hand slowly falling as she loses strength and she falls limp to the floor, before Alex catches her and places her down softly.
Behind her Amber was standing with a syringe in her hand. The liquid container was empty, swirling around in Avery's veins.
"Alex take her to our room, Damon call Natasha and Amber, stay with her til she wakes up." I gave out the orders.
"Yes Alpha." They all bowed their heads but before they could get on with their tasks and annoying voice came ringing in my ears.
"Shouldn't it be the dungeons?" Sofia was standing by the door along with her posey of friends, amongst them was Chase, the guy who seemed to have an interest in my mate.
"What did you say?" Amber quickly got up in Sofia's face, making her coward back.
"Well, Avery did try to kill the Alpha. Isn't it said that a threat against the Alpha is punishable by death? And the threat must be in the dungeons so not to pose any greater threat than already executed." This girl was a sly bitch. It wouldn't surprise me if she had any part in this and if she had, I would kill her myself.
"Don't the same rules apply to everyone?" Blade was growling in my head wanting to rip this bitch's head off and I was about to let him.
"James, she is correct..." Amber chimed in looking defeated. I knew she was but I was not sending my mate to the fucking dungeons!
